Fingerless gloves are a stylish wardrobe item that can fit into any outfit and make it ultra-modern. It would seem that in order to make fingerless gloves with your own hands, it is enough to take ready-made gloves and cut off their fingers. But if you need gloves made of a certain material, you will have to figure out how to sew fingerless gloves.

Draw a pattern

The easiest way to make a pattern is rip open old gloves, iron out the parts, put them on paper and circle. But if you don't have unnecessary gloves at hand, adjust ours to fit (you can do this in a graphic editor). To do this, measure the circumference of your hand around your knuckles. The width of the part should be equal to half the girth. All details need to be increased proportionally.

If you are wondering how to sew fingerless gloves with curly cutouts, perforations, an open wrist, then you don't have to think about it at the sewing stage. It is more convenient to draw and cut patterns on ready-made gloves.

Choosing a material

Fingerless gloves can be sewn with your own hands from any fabric, even from lace, even from lycra, even from vinyl. It will be a little more difficult to sew gloves from thin leather, since special triangular needles and a sewing machine foot are needed to process leather. You should not choose a very loose material for gloves, since the allowances will be small and it will be extremely difficult to work with it.

Cut gloves

Gloves are best cut with the disappearing fabric marker. They can mark all offset points and letters so that nothing is confused during assembly. The main part of the glove is cut from the fabric folded in half, the fold is along the index finger. Leave seam allowances no more than 5 mm, and at the points between the fingers, they must be incised almost completely, up to 1 mm. Why, you will understand when you learn how to sew fingerless gloves.

Madonna style

We sew gloves

When sewing gloves, it is important to follow the order of operations. The thumb is performed first. Behind it, an insert is sewn between the index and middle. In this case, the fingers should be spread out in one line, and in the deepest place where the allowance is notched, it is important to go as close to the notch as possible. The insert must first be sewn to the upper side of the glove, then from the palm side. The operations are repeated with the remaining two inserts.

The last seam runs along the edge of the palm. Now you can try on the glove and make the necessary adjustments.

Finishing

Thin leather and some types of knitwear, for example, supplex, oil, do not need to be cut. In order to make the finished product look more neat, the cuts can be tucked inward or processed with a thin bias tape. Decorate ready-made fingerless gloves to your taste and let them become a worthy decoration for gold pens!

Tools

If your sewing machine can sew leather, the gloves will be indistinguishable from factory-made gloves. Most older machines are capable of stitching glove leather. It is advisable to purchase a special teflon foot for leather, as well as a triangular sewing needle.

We will need:

sharp knife;
a wheel with needles for marking holes;
thin awl;
glue;
sewing needle;
threads in tone or contrasting;
ruler.

Important! All the holes made remain on the skin, therefore, it is not swept away and is not fixed with pins if absolutely necessary.

How to sew leather gloves with your own hands?

Patterns for men's and women's gloves are similar, it is important to make the right measurements.

Pattern of gloves

Step-by-step construction of a pattern:

We place the hand on the paper so that the fingers are closed, and the thumb is located as freely as possible.
We outline the outline of the hand.

The junction of your index finger with your thumb should be in the middle of your paper.
Mark the junctions of the bases of the fingers with dots.
Place a ruler between your fingers, then draw straight lines from these points to the tips. All lines must be parallel.

Add 5cm to the length of the pattern.

We carefully outline the resulting drawing.
Fold the paper in half so that the edges of the index finger are the edge of the fold. We lose the part with the thumb.
We cut out the workpiece at once on both sides of the sheet.
We get a one-piece glove blank.
We make a slot for the thumb.

To get an accurate pattern of the thumb, it is better to wrap it separately in paper and make any necessary adjustments.
To get a hole, apply the pattern to the brush, then determine its position. The shape can be oval, or, as on a pattern with dimensions, complex.
In the case of a complex shape, don't forget to add the required area to the thumb drawing.

We make the sides (gussets) of the fingers, for this we outline their contours on paper. First one hand, then the other.

We connect the index gusset with the middle, middle with the nameless, and so on.

Trying on the resulting pattern.

Cut open

It is important to avoid natural holes in the skin, as well as edges, abrasions, as the quality and density of these areas is worse.

We lay out the details on the skin, cover them.
Cut out.
Do not forget that the gloves are paired, which means that all parts must be duplicated and mirrored.

Important! Decide how you will sew the product - on the front side or the wrong side, it depends on how you fold the parts.

Sewing

It is assumed that sewing is carried out from the seamy side by the machine.

Stages of work:

An old suede jacket or out-of-the-way leather trousers can be used to make great gloves - stylish, soft and comfortable. Nobody else will have such a pair.

Before you start working on leather, it's best to make a trial glove out of cotton.

You will need:

Soft skin
pattern paper
threads in skin tone
scissors
pencil
sewing machine

Take a piece of paper and fold it in half. Place your hand on the folded edge of the paper so that your thumb stays out of the paper. Leave some space between your index finger and the edge of the paper. Spread your fingers slightly and circle your hand, leaving 3 mm above your fingertips and on the side of your little finger. When drawing between your fingers, start from the little finger and spread your fingers only to mark the narrowest points. It is important that the lines between the toes are parallel.

Mark with points B and C where the thumb fits to the hand. Draw a vertical line from A (this is the point at the top of the gap between your index and middle fingers) and horizontal lines along B and C. Draw an oval for the thumb hole.

Cut out a pattern.

To make a gusset pattern, place your finger on the edge of the paper and trace each (except the large one) with a pencil and cut out.

Idea: Use a contrasting color of thread to accentuate the skin tone of the gloves. Use small bows, embroidery or frills for decoration

Connect the corresponding fingers with the gussets: index finger with middle finger, middle finger with ring finger, ring finger with little finger. Circle each pair of fingers. Label each finger.

Advice: choose thin and smooth leather for sewing gloves. It should be elastic, but only in one direction - along the width of the glove, otherwise it will stretch a lot when worn.

Before cutting, draw a curve at the bottom of each insert. Cut out the patterns along this curve. Your three gussets will look something like this.

Make a pattern for the thumb. Circle it around your finger. At the midpoint of the gap, draw a wing / flap to the right, then draw a pattern. At this stage, you only draw half of the pattern. Add some seam space at the tip of the thumb, as the thumb does not have a gusset. Fold the paper in half and outline the half of the pattern you just drew.

Do a test fit first. Before you start working on leather, it's best to make a trial glove out of cotton or muslin to make sure the pattern is correct. Use thread in a contrasting color so you can easily see where you are sewing and where you need to adjust the pattern. Once you've got the right cut, you can make as many leather gloves as you want without a test piece.

Pin the pattern to the back of the leather, placing the longest side of each gusset on the back of your hand (where there is no thumb hole). Sew with an intermittent stitch 3 mm from the edge. If you need to adjust the shape of your fingers, do so now.

Turn out and try on.

Fold each part of the thumb piece (right sides together) in half lengthways and sew. Leave the bottom open. Trim the corner so that it turns right side out. Turn the thumb piece right-side up.

Pin the toes to the glove, aligning the seam of the thumb with the seam of the index finger. Try on a glove to make sure it fits. Customize if needed. The “wings” of the thumb may need to be trimmed to fit well. Pin it again and try it on. When all is well, sew the thumb piece to the glove.

Sew the sides and hem the bottom of the gloves.

Gloves in all their fantastic variety of colors, lengths and materials are back in vogue and are a must for a well-dressed woman. Whether it's a pair of long sexy stretch satin gloves or an imperturbable and elegant model made from the finest husky - they will leave few people indifferent.

The renewed interest in this most timeless fashion accessory goes beyond the creations of Gaultier, Louis Vuitton, Prada and Hermes. Gloves are becoming a fashion statement in the nightclubs of major cities around the world. It has never been so easy to choose the right pair of gloves for the right occasion - from short leather models during the day to evening black elbow-length gloves.

Hand measurement

Glove size is the circumference of the palm, measured in Parisian inches, measured at the base of the fingers.

In addition to the actual size of the gloves, other dimensional characteristics are also important for the correct design of the glove. It is necessary to determine the length of the fingers, which deviates from the standard. Remember: The length of each finger is measured from the highest point at the base of the finger to the tip of the finger. The length of the thumb is also determined.

Ampon- a dimensional feature that is measured from the base of the thumb to the base of the index finger.

Rebras is the main dimension to determine the length of the glove. Rebras is measured from the muscle cusp at the base of the thumb (wrist) to the desired length.

It is useful to indicate additional information about the deviation of the shape of the hand from the standard (for example, a long, narrow hand, short and thick fingers, etc.).

In addition to complete information about the dimensional characteristics, data on the material and processing technology are needed.

Material: nappa, suede, velor leather, jersey, stretch fabrics.

Glove lining: knitted, woolen, silk lining, fur lining (short hair).

Glove seams: rustic (cuts out) hand and machine seams, traditional machine seams (cuts to the wrong side), various decorative seams.

The most common units of measurement in the manufacture of gloves are:

"Parisian" inch = 27.07 mm
English square feet = 9.29 square decimeters.

Drawing gloves

The value of the dimensional characteristic Divide the girth of the palm by 8.

19.2: 8 = 2.4 cm.

Draw five vertical lines about 20 cm long with an interval of 2.4 cm. Draw a horizontal line approximately in the middle (for laying off the values of the length of the fingers).

In the area of the little finger, set aside 1 cm down from the horizontal and draw another horizontal here (the base of the little finger on the hand is below the rest of the fingers).

From the horizontal lines, postpone the obtained values of the length of the fingers upwards. Draw horizontal lines through the obtained points and divide them in half.

Draw the rounded lines of the fingertips.

Draw a hole for the thumb, for this, set aside 5 cm from the horizontal downwards along the 0/1 line (Ampon). From the obtained point, lay down another 5 cm (the length of the muscle tubercle at the base of the thumb).

Set aside from the right outer line and line 2/3, 0.5 cm inward.

From a point on the 0/1 line, 5 cm from the horizontal, set aside 2 cm up. From the obtained point, set aside 1.1 cm horizontally to the left and right (if the palm is wide, you can set aside a larger value). Design the top of the thumb hole.

From the resulting horizontal, set aside 1 cm upwards along the 0/1 line. Through this point (on line 0/1) draw a line 2.1 cm long from the upper left point - a slot for the thumb (with a large hand, the line may be longer). Draw line segments c and d.

From the mark corresponding to the bottom point of the thumb hole (from the bottom point of the muscle cusp), set aside the Rebras (corresponds to the length of the glove). Connect the bottom of the thumb hole to points 0.5 cm from the vertical lines.

Cut out from the material (for one glove):

1 piece with a thumb hole;
1 piece without thumb hole - for the top of the glove.

Drawing the thumb

Draw mutually perpendicular vertical and horizontal lines. Vertically from the point of intersection, postpone the length of the thumb upward, downward - the length of the muscle tubercle at the base of the thumb.

Horizontally set aside the value of the thumb girth plus 1 cm from the vertical line to the left and to the right.

From the top point of the vertical line, set aside 1 cm to the left and right and draw the rounded lines of the fingertip. Draw out with a smooth line (see drawing) the lower part of the part for the thumb through the lower point of the drawing.

The length of the line should be the circumference of the thumb hole plus 2.1 cm.

From the horizontal line, set 2.1 cm (b) up along the outer contour of the part to determine the location of the segment d / c.

Along a horizontal line, set aside 1.5 cm to the left of the right side of the outer contour of the part.

From the end point of segment b (2.1 cm up along the outer contour of the part from the horizontal) towards a point 1.5 cm from the outer contour of the part, draw a segment 2.2 cm long.

Middle toes

Draw the middle parts for the fingers according to the drawing. The base line flew for the fingers is equal to the width of the fingers in the drawing of the glove (2.4 cm).

From the material, cut out (for one glove) all the middle parts for the fingers shown in the drawing one time at a time.

Glove sewing technology

Connect the parts by hand or by machine in accordance with the markings (the seam allowance is 0.2 cm).

The connection of the part for the thumb with the part of the glove should be started at the cut of the hole and grind sections a, b, c, d of the part for the thumb with areas a, b, c, d of the glove, respectively.

Then sew the thumb piece into the thumb hole on the glove.

Sew together the middle parts for the fingers at the base: the part for the little finger - with the first part for the ring finger, the second part for the ring finger - with the first part for the middle finger, the second part for the middle finger - with the part for the index finger.

Connect the interconnected middle finger parts to the upper part of the glove.

Connect the lower part of the glove with the inserted thumb piece to the upper part of the glove.

The outer cuts of the glove parts are joined last.

Length of gloves

When determining the length of the gloves, the number of loops / buttons of the fastener matters. Despite the fact that the fastening on the loops and buttons on gloves has almost completely sunk into oblivion due to the widespread use of elastic materials, the classic "button length" still defines the norm for the length of gloves. The standard of length corresponds to the measured distance between the seam of the joint of the thumb piece and the top edge of the glove. The unit of measure for the uncovered part of the hand is "French inch".

Let's start with the shortest gloves:

Two buttons: these gloves traditionally have a total length of 20-23 cm and end at the middle of the wrist, revealing the beauty of the forearm and hugging the wrist. The opening on the inside of the wrist serves as an eye-catcher on one side and makes donning the glove easier on the other. The so-called palm-length gloves of this type can be worn all year round.

Four buttons: glove 25-28 cm long, hiding most of the wrist. A good compromise for a woman who wants to declare her elegance. These gloves look especially good under jacket cuffs.

Six buttons: another compromise, very exciting. It's less extravagant than the eight-button version, but it's an attractive length that will allow the wearer of gloves to even glance at the watch - even if it can be challenging at times! These gloves should be worn with bare hands or under a jacket.

Eight buttons: the glove reaches the middle of the forearm. These are traditional "three-quarter" gloves that cover the forearm by 14-15 inches. Although the return of these gloves to fashion is not as obvious as with other styles, it is precisely the length that simply exudes charm in the ail of Jackie Onassis.

Twelve buttons: the so-called queen of gloves that comes down to the elbow. These gloves were worn by Audrey Hepburn and a whole horde of trendsetters.

Sixteen buttons: a classic opera glove with a length of 24 inches that ends exactly halfway between the elbow and shoulder. A general rule of thumb for opera gloves is: the shorter the sleeve, the longer the glove. Therefore, opera gloves should be worn with sleeveless, short-sleeved, strapless or strapless but sleeveless dresses, as well as short-sleeved evening gowns.

Gloves are different. But they all have two goals - to protect hands and bring beauty. You can protect your hands from cold, sun, electricity during certain types of work, from detergents during cleaning. Then, probably, it does not matter at all how they look, as long as they efficiently cope with the protective function assigned to them. But those gloves that are not meant for work must be beautiful. Patterning gloves so that you can make them yourself and to your own size will help you get a quality wardrobe accessory.

Sew for good and for joy

The beauty of gloves is not only about style and fashion. They can also be beautiful for their special purpose, for example, a glove doll, the pattern of which is extremely simple, but allows you to create an amazing toy. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that almost every finger of the hand becomes part of a fairy-tale character. Usually, the head is attached to the index finger, the middle and thumb become hands-paws, the ring and little fingers most often do not participate in the game, but they can create additional volume, for example, if the toy is a fat bear-bear. It is not too difficult to sew, such a doll-glove with your own hands. The patterns for it can be divided into two parts - the head of the toy and the glove itself. The head for such fun can be "borrowed" from a toy made of platmass or a rubber "squeaker". But the pattern can be done like this:

On a sheet of thick paper, put the right hand of the one who will play with the glove toy, placing the thumb and forefinger separately, and connecting the middle, ring and little fingers together.
Circle the contour, it will turn out to be three-fingered.
In the same way, along the same contour, circle the left hand, aligning the middle finger of both hands.
Make the outline of the index finger a little wider, so that then, in the process of sewing the glove, a cardboard or plastic tube-stop attached to the head of the toy can be inserted there. However, if the fabric for the glove is taken thick enough, for example, faux fur or thick drape, then this stage can be omitted.
Combine the two paths by drawing common lines.
Add one centimeter to the freedom of fitting, as dressmakers say, re-circle the outline of the glove and cut out a pattern.

You can immediately cut out two halves of the glove from the fabric, folding it with the front side inward. You can sew the body with an overcasting seam over the edge - the seam will securely connect the parts and prevent the fabric from crumpling.

The selected head is attached to the glove with glue and thread with a needle. If plastic or rubber can be pierced with a thick needle or an awl, then the head can be sewn on, but still grease with glue for reliability. However, you can immediately draw the contours of the toy's head on the pattern and cut everything out in one piece to sew.

Apply the necessary decor to the body glove to match the character. The toy glove is ready.

For autumn coolness and joyful days

But still, the glove in the form of a toy is an accessory for playing with children, which will be mainly interested in parents and kindergarten teachers. The vast majority of people need gloves to protect their hands from the cold. A pattern of gloves, which will help to create exactly what is needed for the weather, is much more complicated than patterning a toy. An accessory that protects your hands from the cold should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable, so its design is a painstaking business, each finger should feel comfortable, and if four fingers can still be somehow arranged by drawing the contour of the hand, then for the thumb a separate cut is needed. The pattern of leather gloves will be exactly the same as for gloves made of a suitable fabric. The difference will be in tailoring. It's easier not to build a pattern, but to find a suitable palm size.

Individual pattern of gloves

It's easy to sew gloves with your own hands. Patterns are the main problem. Most often, if they do catch the eye, then they are standard and large enough. But it's better if you can sew a handy accessory with your own hands, so that the pattern of gloves is ideal for your own palms. Therefore, you should do this:

Fold a sheet of paper in half so that your palm fits on one side.
Place your hand on the sheet in such a way that the fold of the sheet falls along the outer edge of the index finger.
Bring four fingers together and set the thumb to the side. Gently running a pencil perpendicular to the sheet, circle your palm.
Mark the length of the fingers by marking points with a pencil.
Draw the outline of the palm with the fingers.
Transfer the resulting drawing to the second half of the sheet strictly symmetrically (you can use the student method - through the glass).
Divide the outline of the index finger exactly in half, drawing a line downward.

Place your palm on the pattern, turning it slightly to the side and putting your thumb aside, mark two points of intersection of the line on the pattern and the thumb as shown in the picture below.

Copy the points symmetrically about the axis.
Using the traced points, build an oval - a hole for the thumb.

As shown in the picture below, build a dart to fit the thumb. The shaded area indicates the place that will need to be cut.

Thumb pattern

In order for the pattern of gloves to be extremely comfortable, it is necessary to correctly construct a pattern for the thumb. It is done like this:

The sheet of paper is folded in half again.
You need to put your thumb on the sheet and outline its contour to the points along which the palm pattern was sewn.
Transfer the contour of the finger to the symmetrical side.
Expand the sheet and draw a thumb pattern, taking into account that the seam will run on the inside, not the outside.

Every finger is in the house

In principle, the pattern is ready, if there is a desire to sew mittens. But to get a high-quality pattern of gloves, each finger should be placed in a separate "house". To do this, you need to build patterns. Draw each finger along the contour, alternately on one side and on the other, applying it on the edge of the table with the inside to the sheet. It is imperative to mark the lower junction points of the finger and palm from the back and from the palm, since the bottom line of each pattern will be oblique, due to anatomy. Do not forget to indicate on each pattern which finger should be connected and with which, so as not to get confused during the assembly process.

The cuffs are so different

So, the pattern of gloves is ready. It remains to come up with and cut out the cuffs. They can be completely different. So, the pattern of men's gloves implies not too long straight cuffs. But women's gloves can have not only cuffs that you like, but absolutely any length. It is clear that elegant guipure gloves can be almost shoulder-length. Then the pattern of gloves is complemented by a pattern of the hand to the desired length. When all the details are cut, you can sew this accessory.

Mitts - fingerless gloves

Mitts are most often used by those who, for some reason, are not very comfortable wearing gloves, and their fingers should be "free". Or they can be a summer version of this accessory. And mitts are also loved by athletes, cyclists, for example. The pattern of fingerless gloves is based on the same principle as regular gloves. The only thing is that the length of the fingers depends on the wishes of the future owner. In mitts, the pattern of the thumb is important, while other fingers can do without special tracing of every detail. If the fingers on the glove are not needed at all, then an interesting accessory is sewn, which has only a properly built hole for the thumb. Further, the pattern of gloves without fingers is simply cut off at the level of the beginning of the first phalanx of the fingers.

For all occasions

A well-designed pattern of gloves for a specific hand will allow you to sew any protection and beauty for your hands - summer openwork, winter fur, smart brocade, sports elastane gloves - gloves will become a necessary accessory, and ideally fit in the palm of your hand. If you carefully design your own gloves, it will be a pleasure to sew and wear them.
